MeloCutHow to remove background noise from a recording
Clean up a voice note, interview, lecture or video so the voice is easy to hear, with a small AI model that runs on your own device.
Step by step
- Open the AI Noise Remover and choose your recording, or a video with the sound you want to clean.
- AI noise removal, Auto loudness and Remove silences are already on. Press Preview with effects.
- If long pauses should stay, switch off Remove silences. If the voice sounds thin, lower Treble a little.
- Choose MP3 at 128 kbps (plenty for speech), then Convert and Download.
What it removes well
Steady and outdoor noise: fans, air conditioning, traffic, wind, computer hum and crowd murmur. It's made for voices, so on music it can remove instruments too. For hiss on a song, use the gentler Reduce hiss instead.
Better recordings next time
- Hold the phone a hand's width from your mouth, a little to the side.
- Record in a room with soft things (curtains, a sofa). Bare rooms echo.
- Turn off fans and close windows. Less noise to start with always sounds best.
Recorded on an iPhone? The voice memo guide shows how to get it out of the Voice Memos app.
